Abstract: Purpose - This study aims to extend the study of COVID-19 effects by identifying different consumer behaviors beyond panic buying during the pandemic. Design/methodology/approach - A systematic review was based on Herjantoet al.’s (2020a) thematic analysis and Paulet al.’s (2021) 5W1H framework, and the authors analyzed 52 related papers. Findings - The result findings indicated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers fell into five different consumer behavior categories: health-related behaviors, consumption behaviors, ethical behaviors, behavioral intentions, and other related behaviors, and social connectedness behaviors. Findings show that consumer behaviors were increasingly complex and dynamic during the pandemic. Originality/value - This systematic review will provide significant contributions to academia by offering general and technical insights and to practitioners by presenting guidelines on dealing with such different behaviors.
